[Guest111]

But what if the boiler isn't cross? mine seems quite contented sat in it's little cupboard.

 

[Tiny Spark]

I had an accident once, a woman came over and said a red cross nurse would be there soon.
I asked her if she could get a blonde calm one.

Nah! ...... It was the Ironing Maidens and the song was "I got them old washday blues".

Anybody remember Dolly Blue - or Blue Bags what the wifeys used to chuck in with the washing to make it whiter?

Aye I do,also OMO washing powder,one of my ex's said where she lived the women who were playing away used it as a sign to let the other bloke know the coast was clear. A box left on the kitchen window meant "Old Man Out" bet the makers never saw that use coming did they?

[mayfair]

Water heater my arse!!!

That is the condenser coil out of your Moonshine still isn't it????!!!

 

[tidyboiler]

I have to say I was a bit disappointed with that. I like to see you doing your usual Blitzkrieg through Sainsburys - it's a bit like Rommel's panzers on steroids.

You more than made up for that by scowling at the screaming brats!!! :willy_nilly:

 

[Darkwood]

Ill be departing for a while girl and boys... since reading this thread Ive realised Ive not bonded all the plastic incoming services thus I have to lose my B/Holiday to go around all my jobs and correct them....

PS Thanks Mr DNO your a pearl of wisdom and glad your mate wrote the book!...I mean what do the collective knowledge of a forum of experienced Electricians mean nowadays when your buddies with Mr Cockburn the most deluded guy that has ever posted a thread on this forum! TTFN

Nothing wrong with that - once it gets a bit of solder on it.

Four pounds three shillings and ninepence as a rough estimate.

Dammit Fatha! You undercut me by a hapenny again.

 

[Knobhead]

Gezze Tony you from Eastern Europe as well?

What are you talking about?

Have a look at Geordies post.

 

[Doomed]

On a serious note:
A lot of boiler installation manuals still mark it as a requirement for the pipework to be cross bonded, and are we not supposed to obey the manufacturer above all else? (along with 3A fuses on extract fan circuits).

 

[Plonker 3]

Bugger, just realised I have put anyone who visits my house at danger by not having the facility to bond their jewellery, car keys or fillings That's tomorrow sorted then making up a load of 10mm leads with crocodile clips on them.

British Grasp seem to be very keen on having geen/yellow festooned all over the shop and what he hell do they know about anything?

No wonder they are so bloody expensive then.

 

[davesparks]

I had to laugh at a new boiler I wired the other day.
A Worcester boiler, with all the brass pipe connections bolted to a steel bar with a bog-roll thin copper strip linking them all together.

I wish somebody would. One half decent gust of wind & the whole fence will be down.

White will blend in well with the plastic pipes.

Its not required in the electrical regs , its one thing that was done because it looks pretty , even to 16th edition , but supplementary bonding was required as has been said in special locations also if you look at the main bonding for a gas pipe under plumbers regs they say it should be within a metre of the gas meter again not an electrical reg, as with alot of manufacturers they add requirements with out consulting the regs , look how many bathroom lights still have zone 3 on them and on instructions tell you to put the loops of a lighting circuit into a terminal block and wrap it in tape now im sure thats one thing we wouldnt do

 

[Geordie Spark]

*points*

There! That one over there!

*runs and hides*

Yes ..... Quite thank you.

The fact is that all the pipe work is bonded by means of the tap rail which it's fixed to so whether we like it or not it is already bonded by default - a fact that the idiots at British Grasp and others seem unable to understand.
